OBNOVA I REFORMA U DISKURSU HUSEIN EF. ĐOZE
THE IDEAS OF HUSEIN ĐOZO ABOUT REFORM AND RECONSTRUCTION

Summary/Abstract: Reformist movements in the Islamic world have reflected upon, primarily students in Bosnia and Herzegovina having an impact of considerable change of the local Islamic thought. Thus the change of relations in reinterpretation of the basic sources of Islam took place from traditional towards modernists view point and consequently the way of applying and practising the same changed. The change of cultural and civilizational surrounding caused the turbulences within the Bosniak community wherein the reformist’s ideas took a lead mainly in the second half of the twentieth century. Within the political structure of socialism the only religious ideas possible were those of modernism and the main promoter of the ideas of religious modernism, Husein Đozo as the religious – educational representative of the Supreme Assembly of the Islamic Community gave these ideas acceptable shapes, especially in legitimising certain socio–political changes from the point of view of the Islamic law. In the modernists school of thought widely held opinion is that the basic sources of Islam are to be interpreted in the light of human needs through the institution of ijtihad, for this reason we attempted to bring to light Husein Đozo’s concept of reform since he was the representative of this stream of the Islamic opinion in our country.
